All of the teachers, principals, counselor, and other staff are fantastic. They are all open to communication with parents, proactive in preventing problems such as bullying, and consistent with handling problems should they arise. Most of the staff came from Southwest Elementary (which was closed when Pioneer Trail was opened). The teachers, even in kindergarten, understand the importance of differentiated instruction and go the extra mile to ensure that all students are challenged while being given the chance to succeed at whatever level they are at. They then encourage and promote growth and development both in academic and social skills.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Missouri used the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math and communication arts, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The results for math, communication arts, and science are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The MAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Missouri. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
